If you want to get rid of the “Chapter One” you have to remove everything in the Section Layout settings for the folder representing your chapter. The “ONE” originates from the <$t>:
Manual: <$t >Gets replaced with numbers as title-case words (using the current language
settings) during the Compile process. The number is incremented each
time a <$t> tag is encountered in the text, so “<$t>, <$t>, <$t>” would
become “One, Two, Three” in the compiled text.
Yes, but is there a code to make it show the folder’s original title?
No, you click the appropriate Title box in the Layout view shown above.
It didn’t work because the scenes that were under one document under one folder ended up having their name as titles too (it only worked on level 2+, all others generated nothing). So instead of having *** separate scenes in the same chapter, I had the scene names/numbers.
You have to apply the above example to all your rows in the Formatting pane of the compile window. If it’s a Folder, check only “Title”. If it’s a row that has a “stack of pages” icon, only check the “Text” icon. If it’s not a row with a single “page” icon, then only “Text” should be checked.
BTW, at this point, you’ve received a lot of advice, some of it in opposition to other advice, so I can see why you might be confused or lost as to why you would do something. But at least with the “Formatting” pane, if you can see a few chapters in your binder while you adjust things, you should be able to tell which folders and documents are being affected by the settings for a particular row in that pane. Think through what documents/folders are highlighted in yellow in the binder, versus the settings on that row in the compile window’s Formatting window “pane” and the example text in the box near the bottom of that same Formatting pane below that. It should be clear that if a file in the binder is highlighted in yellow, and the row you have selected has the Title checkbox selected, then you’re going to get that document’s title in the compiled document.
Select every row, check what folders/documents in the binder match that row in Formatting, and then think through what that document should be giving you when you compile. Make that row’s settings match what you want, and you should be able to get it to do what you want.
In order to better understand the Scrivener Format Hierarchy, you might want to check out this blog post, which explains it very well using a lot of pictures:

It’s for Mac but now that Scrivener for Windows has the Binder Highlighting Feature too, it applies equally well for Windows.
I’m having a similar issue when compiling to ePub. I have Scrivener 3 for Mac. I want the chapters to be numbered but also show the chapter name.
For example
1
Wolf in Sheeps’s Clothing
Right now it just has Chapter One
All of my chapter folders are named but not sure what to select in the formating pane to get the chapter number and the chapter name to show up.
This is what I see and not sure what to select
